The travel deal company Travelbird put together a list of the 36 most-traveled musicians in the world. They looked at the historical tour information of each artist and measured the travel distances for each engagement, then added them all up. The performances include arena shows, festival appearances, and road trips, but they don't include private performances. They also translated the number of miles into how many times the musicians could circumnavigate the globe.

The bulk of the list includes pop superstars and longtime acts like Metallica and Bob Dylan. But the single most-traveled musician is, surprisingly, a DJ.

Here are the 10 musicians who've been on the road more than anyone else.

9. Cyndi Lauper

Lauper is the top female musician on the list. She doesn't only travel the world for her music, she also visits countries as an ambassador for LGBTQ right. She and Blondie — another groundbreaking female musician — are planning to tour in new Zealand this summer, well into their third decade of making music.

3. Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan has been at it for the longest on this list. He's been touring since 1959. Last year, his international renown won him the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first time the Swedish Academy gave the prize to someone who's primarily a musician.

The Berlin-based Paul van Dyk was one of the first DJ superstars of this century, starting with his 2003 album "Reflections." With his radio show, he has a constant audience engaged in his electronic music and remixes. And like many other musicians, he also travels the world to promote social justice causes.

Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto has just five proper albums in a 20-year career, but his remixes and live shows have made him one of the top electronic musicians in the world. He's one of the first DJs to introduce the concept of long, single-DJ sets to the world, and he sometimes performs for more than six hours at a time.
